Since we're often working on the newest web technologies, it's often the case that it's missing a solid starter project to reduce the boilerplate. Instead of repeating the same tasks over and over, we've already created a couple of starter kits so we're able to quickly kick-off our work. We also wrote a book - Mastering Full Stack React Web Development. In it, we focus on creating a isomorphic web applications from scratch, using React.js with Redux state containers on the Frontend and Node.js + Express and MongoDb on the backend.
